Implication for the Core-Collapse Supernova Rate From 21 Years of Data of the Large Volume Detector

Abstract: The Large Volume Detector (LVD) has been continuously taking data since 1992 at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory. LVD is sensitive to neutrino bursts from gravitational stellar collapses with full detection probability over the Galaxy. We have searched for neutrino bursts in LVD data taken in 7335 days of operation. No evidence of neutrino signals has been found between June 1992 and December 2013. The 90% C.L. upper limit on the rate of core-collapse and failed supernova explosions out to distances of … Show more

“…When the next galactic supernova will occur, conventional detectors based on water or hydrocarbon, such as Super-Kamiokande [1,2] or LVD [3], will provide a huge statistic on electron antineutrino events. As discussed in [4,5], however, the initial a priori lack of knowledge about the initial energy distribution (as well as the oscillation mechanism) limit us in the extraction of useful information from charged-current events alone.…”

“…Optical properties and characteristics of this scintillator can be found in [5]. In particular the attenuation length at 425 nm, corresponding to the maximum sensitivity of the photocathode of the used photomultipliers, remains greater than 10 m after Gd doping, well above the detector dimensions (1x1x1.5) m 3 .…”

“…This work has been carried out in the framework of the LVD (Large Volume Detector) experiment, which is a neutrino observatory monitoring the galaxy since June 1992 to detect neutrinos from core collapse supernovae [3]. LVD is placed in the Hall A of the Gran Sasso Laboratory and is made by an array of 840 scintillator detectors 1.5 m 3 each.…”

“…The capability of LVD to detect in real-time (i.e., "on-line") a supernova event is extensively discussed in [38]. It is necessary to say that LVD can identify all types of neutrinos [31].…”
